Costco Is Selling $6,000 Doomsday-Prepper Food Kits

The kits range from $1,000 to $6,000 and include a mix of grains, fruits, vegetables, proteins, and dairy.

Many of the items have a 25-year shelf life, such as the freeze-dried
broccoli, green beans, corn, and dehydrated apples. Others, like the
instant lentils and instant black beans, can last up to 30 years.

The most expensive kit,
at $5,999.99, contains 600 cans of food and can feed four people for a
year, based on a per-person diet of 2,000 calories a day, Costco says.
The cheapest kit, at $999.99, contains 96 cans and can feed one person for a year on a diet of 1,200 calories a day.

"Enjoy the comfort in knowing you have the essential foods your family
will need to survive an emergency or natural disaster!" Costco says on
its website.

Don't want the neighborhood to know you're stocking up for the
apocalypse? Costco says the food is "packaged discreetly for privacy in
shipping."

But the packages are huge, weighing about 1,800
pounds, according to one customer who reviewed the product on Costco's
website.

One anonymous reviewer called the Thrive-branded $3,999.99 kit "end of the world as we know it insurance."
